Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
September 1994

Abstract

This paper outlines the longstanding discrepancy between needs and resources for child disorders and discusses the concepts of risk and protective factors in developing a case for the primary prevention of emotional and behaviour disorders in children and adolescents. Promising preventive interventions reported in the literature are reviewed using a developmental framework.
